Any respectable foodie knows that some of the best—and cheapest—food can be purchased from street carts. During the workweek, downtown Sacramento has its fair share of mobile carts dishing up delicious grub at lunchtime. Here’s a sampling. (Word to the wise: Don’t go on a wet or windy day or after dark: The carts are out for only a few hours beginning at 11 a.m., weather permitting.)

Señor Burrito7th & I The cart’s sign brags “Best Burrito in Town”—and it just might be. There are eight varieties (all $4), from beef ’n’ bean to vegetarian. I was knocked out by the arroz con pollo (chicken and rice): tender shredded chicken and tasty rice and beans wrapped in a thick, lightly grilled flour tortilla. The extra touches go a long way, from the unexpected bag of warm chips and fresh salsa that come with every order to the charming gentleman who runs the cart. (He called me “señorita.”) To Señor Burrito I will return.
